Robowranglers 2012: Scorpion

The Robowranglers are proud to present our 2012 robot: SCORPION.

Just a little teaser, this year, though:

All will be revealed at Alamo, Midwest, Dallas East, and the Championship!

Impressive bot once again :slight_smile: can’t wait to see the whole thing!

-Chinmay

Waaaaaaaaait … I thought this was for 148.

:stuck_out_tongue:

I always look forward to 148’s videos because I’m always too far away to see the robot in person. What was the reasoning behind the decision not to showcase your robot?

As always looks to be a beautifully designed and realized machine from 148. Hope we can see some more soon!

-Brando

Just decided we were going to keep things a little more under wraps this season. We wanted to keep people guessing a little bit :wink: Besides, you’ll be able to see it in action on the webcast from San Antonio next week!

I do hope that the RoboWranglers will post a release video of their 2012 robot at some point. Sometimes when things aren’t so great with our robot I will sit down and watch the previous release videos still on youtube. The music, the robot and the fun the RoboWranglers seem to have gets me inspired again.

You know it isn’t reveal season until 148 comes out! Looks fantastic, as usual!

I too miss the full video. Regardless of not showing it before season - any way we can get one during/after? Theyre really motivational especially for new members. And it was becoming a FIRST tradition :stuck_out_tongue:

I miss the long videos. I still think Raptor was the coolest robot last season due to the design that I saw documented and demonstrated effectively.

Oh, how I have awaited the day for the 148 video to be released… :wink:

Very well done. The red lights and the black metal are always a classic. That final inbounder shot was also quite intimidating; points will certainly be made towards the end.

Can’t wait to see you guys.

Another awesome Robowrangler machine! Can’t wait to see it in action.

I would say there is more in the video than you think, if you look hard enough.

Nice shot Colin.

I just watched the video at 1/4 speed to figure out what’s going on on this robot. Here is what I’ve figure out, hope the robowranglers don’t mind, but I figure it is fair game because it’s in the video.
-8 wheel drive
-You were prototyping a helper arm to assist you in keeping the bridge balance by touching the ground
-It looks like you are shooting from the fender but I could be mistaken. If you are and that is your strategy I would love it because that would make me feel better about our strategy.
-Your robot is going to be awesome as always.

:21 isn’t getting the attention it deserves.

I think it’s funny that someone posting in 148’s 2011 thread last night got 16 replies in less then an hour, but the real robot has hasn’t even had that many replies in almost 3 hours.

I noticed that too! As always, awesome work Robowranglers! The best clip I could find from the video is below. Looks like a well built machine!

Very Nice…As usual. Good luck in 2012.

I would not be surprised to see this, as someone from 148 posted questions in the Q/A related to this exact function. :slight_smile:

Colin Doby is my hero.

The best part is that shot was the very first attempt we filmed.

There was almost a Diet Coke spit take off camera at 0:42; too bad we didn’t catch that on video.
